[Talk-GB] NaPTAN updating for new bus stops

[Tony Shield]

Hi Chris

Being doing some NaPTAN work locally in Lancashire recently.

Suggest you go to the DfT's NaPTAN site 
https://beta-naptan.dft.gov.uk/Download/La and download the South Glos 
csv file.

Open it with a spreadsheet and search for the data. I've just done that 
and opened it and found the Bristol Parkway Stn stops (rows 24-27). If 
you only plan to create those stops then the data is there to use 
manually against the NaPTAN tags in 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Tag_mappings.

I notice that the latitude and longitude data is missing from the 
download but OS Easting and Northing positions are in the data.

This South Glos download contains substantially less data about locality 
and towns than in the Lancashire download I am using. Does anyone have a 
comment?

Hope this is helpful Chris.
